HIS WORK
Nouvel Élan for viola and chamber orchestra
——
Nouvel Élan is conceived as a journey for the solo viola through different characters and different orchestral worlds. The viola is alternately in phase with and at odds with its universe, a product of it or a producer of it, and thus passes through every state of mind throughout the musical discourse.

It will be performed during the final round by violist Adrien La Marca and the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, conducted by Pierre Bleuse.
